• Monitor the performance, availability, and security of the Atlassian applications, troubleshoot and resolve issues that arise, and apply updates and patches on a planned cadence.
• Own configuration hygiene. Audit workflows, schemes, automation rules, and permission groups, consolidate duplicates, retire unused configuration, and keep the platform administration backlog current.
• Collaborate with engineering teams, project managers, operations, finance, recruiting, and other stakeholders to understand their requirements and configure the Atlassian tools to meet them.
• Develop and implement best practices and guidelines for using the Atlassian tools, and provide training, playbooks, and design docs so teams use them consistently.
